Hello
I would like to suggest a category split:

I like to purchase printed tiles, but I am not interested in parts that have
stickers already applied. Currently, the category for "Tiles - Printed" has
a great number of parts which are not printed but actually a sticker.

My suggestion is to create two categories: "Tiles - Printed" which is reserved
only for true printed parts, and "Tiles - with Sticker" for the others.


thank you for your consideration,

-allan-

You can sort these out yourself. Click on the Tile, Decorated category and you
will find 3,678 parts. Now, in the box at the top of the page which says "Find:"
type in -sticker and click the "Go!" button.

This will reduce the number of parts to 1,252 and all of them should be printed.

While your suggestion is incredibly helpful and correct, I do not believe it
negates the request. Unless you're savvy enough to know/figure out/remember
your advice, it sure would be a helpful change to the inventory categories!

I do remember how to do that sort of thing, sorting by "-sticker -stickers",
sorting by "-female" when I want a male head or torso, etc. I'd still
like to see stickers split off from decorated in all categories because it'd
save me repeating the same step over and over and over and over and over again.
